An 1D3 editor is available as well as functions for automatic tagging and renaming files from tag. lt is able to create a CUE sheet of the inserted audio CD. The user can choose the file naming scheme to be used for saving files. The application can also be used as a simple CD player. Keywords: freedb, DAE, 1D3, ripper 6 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Ripping and Audio Rippers Audio ripper is an application that has the ability to copy or extract the digital audio data stored on an audio CD and save it to the hard disk. This process is called ripping. Most audio rippers have other functions that can be useful when working with audio files. 1.2 Related Definitions and Explanation Before getting started some explanation should be made first. This chapter contains a short introduction to the standards. file formats and other things closely connected with audio ripping. 1.2.1 The Red Book standard Formerly, the compact disk format was defined for digital audio (CDDA). The Red Book standard was adopted from Sony and Philips by the Digital Audio Disc Committee and ratified as !EC 908. It defines and specifies the rules for CDDA. The standard is available in PDF format but unfortunately for the price of $210. Therefore I made use ofthe ECMA-130 standard for data interchange on read-only 120 mm optical data disks (CD-Rom) from June 1996. According to [11], it contains much ofthe information from !EC 908. A small "file" called the Tahle of Contents (TOC) is at the beginning of a CD. The TOC is followed by strings of bits containing 7 the digital audio data (two channels oťaudio at 16 bits per channel and 44,100 samples per second). The separati,1n oť the audio data into individua! tracks is done by the TOC. lt contains pointers to individua! tracks and tells the player where a track starts. 1.2.2 The WA VE file format The Wave file forma! is a file forma! for storing digital audio data. As it is Windows• native file forma! the data values are stored in "Little-Endian'" order. Some drives use the "Big-Endian„ read order and a conversion is therefore necessary before storing the data. The forma! specifications are free available and can be obtained from various sources. One ofthese sources can be found at [12]. 1.2.3 ASPI ASPI (Advanced SCSI Programming Interface) was developed to provide a common language for communication between drivers and SCSI host adapters. It is used for communication with IDE devices and comes with the Windows installation. Some applications (e.g. Nero Buming Rom) install their own ASPI drivers. 1.2.4 Digital Audio Extraction (DAE) When extracting through a sound card, the audio data is converted from digital to analog, resampled and converted back to digital. Because of this conversion the quality of the resulting audio file suffers. Digital Audio Extraction (DAE) does not use a sound card to extract audio data so there should be no noise or loss of fidelity in the resulting file. When an application sends a read request to the drive, it reads the digital audio data from the CD bit by bit and the application 8 receives the data exactly as it was read. Still some problems may occur while using DAE (see [8]): • Jitter The cause of jittering is the inability of many drives to accurately seek a specific sector on an audio CD. When extracting, a block of sectors is read form the CD and written to the hard disk. Then the drive must seek the beginning of the next block of sectors. As the Red Book 1 specification only requires the accuracy within l/75 h of a second, the sector retumed by the drive does not need to be exactly the one requested. Especially older drives tend to have jitter problems whereas newer ones (e.g. Plextor) perforrn jitter correction intemally. • Seek errors This goes hand in hand with the prev1ous problem. Because of the Red Book inaccuracy the drive may retum other track offset sectors even when extracting the same file. And there

  • CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD-ROM Drives) Are the Hardware Devices That Read Computer Data from Disks
    A Brief History of CD/DVD The first disc that could be written and read by optical means (using light as a medium) was developed by James T. Russell. In the late 1960s, Russell created a system that recorded, stored, and played audio/video data using light rather than the traditional contact methods, which could easily damage the disks during playback. Russell developed a photosensitive disc that stored data as 1 micron-wide dots of light and dark. The dots were read by a laser, converted to an electrical signal, and then to audio or visual display for playback. Russell's own company manufactured the first disc player in 1980, although the technology never reached the marketplace until Philips and Sony developed the technology. In late 1982, Philips and Sony released the first of the compact disc (CD) formats, which they then called CD-DA (digital audio). In the years since, format has followed format as the original companies and other industry members developed more adaptations of the original specifications. Digital Versatile disc (DVD) had its beginning in 1994, when two formats, Super disc (SD) and Multimedia CD (MMCD) were introduced. Promoters of the competing technologies failed to reach an agreement on a single standard until 1996, when DVD was selected as a convergence format. DVD has, in the few years since, grown to include variations that do anything that CD does, and more efficiently. Standardization and compatibility issues aside, DVD is well-placed to supplant CD. Magnetic vs Optical Media Optical media are storage media that hold information in digital form and that are written and read by a laser; these media include all the various CD and DVD variations, as well as optical jukeboxes and autochangers.

  • Media Draft Appendix
    Media Draft Appendix October, 2001 P C Hariharan Media Historical evidence for written records dates from about the middle of the third millennium BC. The writing is on media1 like a rock face, cave wall, clay tablets, papyrus scrolls and metallic discs. Writing, which was at first logographic, went through various stages such as ideography, polyphonic syllabary, monophonic syllabary and the very condensed alphabetic systems used by the major European languages today. The choice of the medium on which the writing was done has played a significant part in the development of writing. Thus, the Egyptians used hieroglyphic symbols for monumental and epigraphic writing, but began to adopt the slightly different hieratic form of it on papyri where it coexisted with hieroglyphics. Later, demotic was derived from hieratic for more popular uses. In writing systems based on the Greek and Roman alphabet, monumental writing made minimal use of uncials and there was often no space between words; a soft surface, and a stylus one does not have to hammer on, are conducive to cursive writing. Early scribes did not have a wide choice of media or writing instruments. Charcoal, pigments derived from mineral ores, awls and chisels have all been used on hard media. Cuneiform writing on clay tablets, and Egyptian hieroglyphic and hieratic writing on papyrus scrolls, permitted the use of a stylus made from reeds. These could be shaped and kept in writing trim by the scribe, and the knowledge and skill needed for their use was a cherished skill often as valuable as the knowledge of writing itself.

  • Measure the Distance Between Tracks of CD and DVD the Aim of Work
    University of Technology Department Laser & Optoelectronics Engineering Laser Eng Branch Laser application Lab. Experiment (9) Measure the Distance Between Tracks of CD and DVD The aim of work: 1-measure the distance between tracks of CD and DVD. 2-study the different between the CD & DVD. Instruments:- Laser He-Ne, CD & DVD, screen, ruler, holders Theory:- The Compact Disc was invented by Sony and Philips in 1981 in order to serve as a high-quality compact audio storage device which allowed for direct access to digital sound tracks. It was officially launched in October 1982. In 1984, the Compact Disc's specifications were extended (with the publication of the Yellow Book) so that it could store digital data. A CD (Compact Disc) is an optical disc 12cm in diameter and 1.2mm thick (its thickness may vary from 1.1 to 1.5 mm) for storing digital information: up to 650 MB of computer data (equivalent to 300,000 typed pages) or 74 minutes of audio data. A circular hole 15mm in diameter is used to centre it on the CD player's surface. A CD is built from a plastic (polycarbonate) substrate and a fine, reflective metallic film (24-carat gold or a silver alloy). The reflective layer is then covered with an anti-UV acrylic finish, creating a protective surface for data. Finally, an additional layer may be added so that data can be written on the other side of the CD as well. The reflective layer contains tiny bumps. When the laser passes over the polycarbonate substrate, light is reflected off the reflective surface, but when the laser reaches a bump, that's what allows it to encode information.
